What Tucker Carlson Gets Wrong about the Darien Gap and the Southern Border

Transnational Biosecurity Will Solve the Problems of Freedom and Democracy

Tucker Carlson’s crusade against the Biden Administration’s Open Border policies should require no introduction. Nor should Carlson’s explanation that the Democratic Party leadership encourages illegal immigration to the USA to change the national demographic — to ensure a permanent one-party rule, under the assumption that the majority of illegal immigrants will vote Blue once granted voting rights as either de facto residents or full citizens after amnesty.

Demography as Destiny

What is now deemed a right-wing conspiracy, the “Great Replacement Theory,” was a mainstay of your author’s graduate school years among the Left in the late 1980s — early 1990s: demography is destiny, we said. A few short years later, this would go mainstream.

Noted liberal thought-leader Professor Paul Starr, writing for the American Prospect in 1997, discussed the seeming inevitability of “An Emerging Democratic Majority.”  This “Democratic Majority” would result from irreversible demographic change: more brown people, to state it crudely but fairly. Noted leftist journalist and public intellectual John B. Judis, in cooperation and co-authorship with Democratic Party strategist and Professor of Political Science Ruy Teixeira, published in 2002 The Emerging Democratic Majority, a book-length extrapolation on essentially the theme advanced by Starr and many others: demographic change equals Democratic votes. This effort did NOT go unnoticed — being designated as one of the Economist’s Best Books of Year and winning the Washington Monthly’s annual Political Book award.

By the early 21^st century, demographic change as political destiny (aka, “the Great Replacement Theory”) was well on the way to becoming liberal dogma, a commonsense equation beyond questioning.

Democratic Thought-Leaders in Hive-Mind Unison

Enter belatedly Steve Phillips, an acknowledged MSM expert on American race-relationships, frequent contributor to the usual MSM outlets, and currently a Senior Fellow at the liberal think-tank / activist organization American Progress. Phillips restated the case bluntly in his 2016 tome Brown is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution has Created a New American Majority. Although nearly 20 years after Starr and 14 years after Judis and Teixeira, the contribution by Phillips likewise did not go unnoticed. His book was praised by luminaries such as Van Jones, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Senator Corey Booker, John Podesta, and more; as well, it was favorably reviewed by nearly all the usual MSM outlets. (Surprise, surprise). Thus from the mid-1990s to the mid-2010s at least, the intellectual history is undeniable — the record established beyond doubt.

But like the “N” word, your group can’t say it

Strange as it seems to your author, on the issue of massive illegal immigration to the USA, Tucker Carlson is deemed trafficking in a racist, right-wing conspiracy theory. Instead, Carlson is largely repeating the bromides of the intellectual left: demographic change as political destiny, brown is the new white, a new super-majority for the Democratic Party, et cetera.

But Carlson — along with our aforementioned liberal and/or progressive luminaries —also likely has it wrong. We will get to that — but let’s first start with some factual mistakes and perhaps unintentional distortions from his recent (Feb 2, 2024) interview with Bret Weinstein.

Sloppy, Tucker — Five Minutes of Research

Carlson begins by distorting the media coverage on the Darien Gap and assigning to Bret Weinstein undeserved grandiosity and gravitas. Why does these concerns matter? Because the evil at hand is great enough without theatrics and distractions — all of which undermine Carlson’s creditability, to start. As the saying goes: “Five minutes of research.” Carlson has a production team — he has no excuses.

In his interview with Bret Weinstein, Carlson (Feb 2, 2024) claims that “almost no one has taken the time to go the Darien Gap to find out what’s happening there” and so it took “a world-renown biologist [Bret Weinstein] to do that – not a journalist.” Where to begin?

The MSM most certainly has covered the Darien Gap, even if not to the level of detail or slant that Carlson would desire. Adam Yamaguchi for CBS, and now almost seven years ago, authored “The Darien Gap — A Desperate Journey” (Oct 9, 2017): an on-the-scene special report complete with photos and extensive video. Even PBS, for their NewsHour series, dealt with the issue almost four years ago: “What Migrants Face as They Journey Through the Deadly Darien Gap” (Aug 13, 2020). PBS!

Give Due Credit

But far more to point, and prior to Professor Weinstein’s sally forth, we have excellent journalist coverage on Darien Gap by two different men who have spent considerable time there: Oscar Blue Ramirez and Michael Yon.

It was Oscar Blue Ramirez who broke the stories — plural — of how the United Nations (UN) enables and encourages the illegal immigration:  from providing temporary housing along the route to providing what amounts to pre-rape kits for avoiding unwanted pregnancies. Carlson assigns all the UN-expose credit to Weinstein, who contributes nothing new and considerably less overall than Ramirez.

Possibly in response to the recent Carlson interview, Ramirez did a recent and somewhat rambling summary on the UN’s ventures (please see below) — but if you check Ramirez’s body of work, you will find he has been on this topic for some time.

This brings us to the unarguably eccentric Michael Yon who unquestionably puts his ass on the line by not just touring dangerous areas but immersing himself in the same.

Like Ramirez, Yon has also spent considerable time in Darien Gap and along other parts of the immigration trail. On the same, and now for the past several years, Yon has reported for numerous and various alternative media outlets, most notably the Epoch Times, NTD News, and various Substacks – including his own. Moreover, in 2021, Yon was a featured speaker for the Center of Immigration Studies on the Darien Gap. A video clip from the same below:

See also the Washington Examiner exclusive by Tori Richards from the same year, 2021, based on Yon’s raw reportage: “Murder, robbery, and 'Mountain of Death' await migrants crossing the Darien Gap” (Aug 17, 2021).

Anyone who takes these issues seriously knows — or knows of — the work of Ramirez and Yon. Full stop.

And Chill the Hype

But Carlson (Feb 2, 2024) would have us believe that “almost no one has taken the time to go the Darien Gap to find out what’s happening there” and so it took “a world-renown biologist [Bret Weinstein].” Guess what? As an academic, Professor Bret Weinstein was no H. Allen Orr: Weinstein was NOT world-renown as a biologist — not in scientific circles.

Weinstein’s research accomplishments and publication record were appropriate for what amounted to a tenured teaching position at Evergreen State College. After his ghastly and deeply unjust woke crucifixion, Weinstein has done an outstanding job of re-inventing himself as a noteworthy public intellectual. Someone actually worth listening to. He deserves immense respect and credit for doing so — but he should not be represented a former major force in the biological sciences. Just bullshit.

But the Chinese!

What else?

Carlson and Weinstein (Feb 2, 2024) have discovered that Chinese nationals are among the illegal immigrants. (Not news). Wait for it — it gets better. The majority of these Chinese nationals are males, and most of those males are “of military age.” Speculation time by Carlson and Weinstein: sleeper cells?  A CCP plot to infiltrate the USA? To set-up potential terrorist networks?  Woo, woo. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Your author has actual time on the ground in mainland China, working with young people “of military age” — college students and graduate students, some of whom were in the military.  Common enough in mainland China. Your author would like to submit a different hypothesis.

One needs to know something about China, to start — so start with the “Ant Tribe” and “996”. Here — to the shock of your author — Wikipedia is actually useful:

• "Ant tribe" 蚁族  is a “neologism for a group of low-income university graduates who settle for a poverty-level existence in the cities of China.”

• The “996 working hour system” requires that “employees work from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week.”

The deal-lio for real-lio. A young person can graduate college and have absolutely miserable prospects. If the person went to the right university or has the right connections, a bright future is possible. If otherwise, and if the university low-tier enough, a life as a knowledge-worker serf or service worker serf beckons. If the person doesn’t even make the low-tier university cut, there’s always body-destroying grinding dirty dark dangerous manual labor to be done.

Either way, you get to work yourself to death for survival chump change while making Chinese oligarchs richer. Meanwhile, you know or know of people who may not be that much more talented than you — and certainly not more hard-working. But they had the better start and better connections, and have found their way to Tencent, to Weibo, to Google, to Apple, to Microsoft, and so on. Living the dream in Shanghai, San Francisco, or Seattle. Big house, fast car, expensive toys, and blonde (even if bleach-blonde) bimbos and himbos for the fucking.

You know for certain you’re locked out of opportunities in China. But what about the USA — the fabled land of opportunity?

Chasing the Dream

Step back. Historically speaking, what part of the population – in terms of biological sex, and age range — is most likely to immigrate seeking economic opportunity?  1. Males. 2. “Of military age” — young enough to have nothing to lose, everything to gain, and the ability to start over.

The Chinese nationals that Carlson and Weinstein are fretting over fit this common profile. More likely, they want to work themselves to death for BIG money not chump-change, own a McMansion or fancy condo, drive fast cars, fuck blondes (even if they would preferentially marry only Chinese homegirls), have expensive toys, and enjoy some freedom or at least some quality of life. They are desperate — but their situation back home is also desperate. They display the decision-making one might expect from their circumstances and the appropriate mix of youth and testosterone.

Some of these Chinese nationals might well be runaways from the groups of Chinese laborers brought to South America on behalf of Chinese companies engaged in resource extraction (American Exile, Jun 16, 2022). That situation differs significantly them being from hand-picked agents of the CCP.

Yellow Peril Sleeper Cells?

Based on personal experience in mainland Chinese and other sources, in your author’s opinion the CCP doesn’t give a damn about establishing low-level sleeper cells in the USA and blowing anything up. Can’t be bothered.

They are concerned with infiltrating the academic, financial, and corporate spheres from the mid- to highest levels: they are seeking intellectual property, trade advantages, political leverage, and more. But as for the American shitshow, they are too busy sitting back and watching and enjoying it to directly participate. Not their style — not their modus operandi. Yes, I will sell you via a third party all the fentanyl you desire — no, I will not indulge with you. Enjoy.

So dear reader, you have two competing hypotheses for why male Chinese nationals of a certain age range have been joining in the great trek to our open Southern border. One hypothesis seems paranoid nonsense and the other plausible, but you decide which is which according to your preferences.

Domestically Destabilizing the USA

 If the CCP were actively seeking to domestically destabilize our nation, they would throw whatever resources they could — financial, intelligence, et cetera — behind the woke wing of the Democratic party and ultimately behind presidential candidate Gavin Newsom. But mainland China is too busy dealing with its own problems, so the CCP is at best right now passively wishing to domestically destabilize the USA. In truth, they are focused on competing with the USA internationally — and to be fair, they are winning. It is ridiculous to think that the CCP seeks to make NYC’s subways even worse. We have Alvin Bragg, a Soros District Attorney for that. Sorted.

Back to the big picture; or, what Carlson and Weinstein have mostly right. The Southern border should be closed to all but legal immigration. Why?

Close the Southern Border — Now

The ongoing migrant caravan might be described as a mighty human river with several contributing streams — tributaries — from cities in nations across South and Central America. For example, some immigrants from various nations in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East will fly to Mexico City and from there catch a cartel-organized bus to USA Southern border; others, whether native residents or citizens of South America or not, will start in Argentina or Chile or elsewhere and make their way up the continent eventually to and through the Darien Gap in Panama on the way to Mexico and then the USA Southern border.

This is more than the movement of bodies — this is mass human suffering and predatory exploitation in motion along the entire greater route, yet enabled by NGOs which claim to respect human dignity and life. For example, it is estimated that roughly 10% of the migrants travelling through the Darien Gap die from the experience (Richards: Aug 17, 2021). In that sense only, a possible Chinese venture to build a roadway and pave part of the Darien Gap seems almost humanitarian. But it is not. The Darien Gap is only one noteworthy place where families are separated and often destroyed, where women and children are raped, and where wide-scale robbery and intimidation by violence take place.

Enriching the Cartels

The immigrants are constantly forced to deal with — and to bargain with — criminals. Hence the sexual violence, the trafficking of children, the loss of personal property, and more. Some — but not all — of these criminals are members of organized crime syndicates, the infamous cartels. This mighty human river — the migrant caravan — vastly enriches these cartels: to be escorted to and across the Southern border, a standard quoted price is $10,000 per person. And if one chooses not to pay — not to go in debt to the cartels, that person will generally not be protected by the local authorities.

Undermining National Sovereignty and the Rule of Law

In each city, region, and nation through which this migrant caravan passes — this mighty human river flows — the rule of law is undermined while the crime syndicates are strengthened. This is both a corruption of sovereignty and a tremendous drain on public resources. Our Open Border policies which encourage this migrant caravan place a vast burden on these South and Central American nations, as they must deal the unrest and lawlessness caused by this large and continuous transitory population, and with the sick and dying stragglers, and with the corpses left behind.

A Globalist Opportunity

So UN agencies and other NGOs step in — enabling greater human suffering and criminal violence under the guise of alleviating it. The mighty human river flows on —corrupting everything it touches.

When many of the migrants do arrive at our Southern border, they have been brutally victimized and traumatized — too many also are in debt to cartels and hence must provide services once they enter USA to pay-off those debts. These are the “sleeper cells” we should worry about: the people effectively in chattel to cartels. In turn, the cartels now seem increasingly to control both sides of the border: the territory in Mexico, and the territory in the USA.

Our Open Border policies are damaging the peoples, nations, and even ecosystems of South and Central America. Causing vast human suffering and misery, perpetuating sexual violence and the trafficking of children, strengthening and enriching criminal cartels at the expense of state sovereignty and the rule of law, and resulting also in thousands of deaths per year. Yet the mighty human river flows on. Why?

Who Benefits? The Failing Standard Explanation

We are back to Carlson’s alleged racist right-wing conspiracy — otherwise known as the commonplace wisdom of the American Left political intelligentsia. Demographic change is political destiny, with brown as the new white and a hence a new super-majority for the Democratic Party. This explanation has two obvious failings, so and will not suffice. In this regard, perhaps, Carlson seems as mistaken as Starr (1997), Judis & Teixeira (2002), Phillips (2016), and many others, including once your author.

Failure One

The first obvious failing: support for the Open Border policies is bi-partisan. Witness the recent farce of a Senate bill for alleged border security. Senior Republican leaders signed off on this — as they have been doing for years on compromising USA immigration policy and enforcement. The Trump Presidency was an aberration, not the norm. These life-long Republican politicians and their advisors, donors, and greater entourages do not fear that the illegal migrants will one day sweep them from power by use of the ballot box. Yet being swept from power is all that some of these politicians do seem to fear. So here they evidently know something which Tucker Carlson does not.

Failure Two

The second obvious failing: brown people do not automatically vote Blue. For the past several decades, black Americans have reliably voted roughly 90% Democratic in the national elections. Hispanic Americans have not: politically speaking, “brown” people are far more diverse than many pundits have generally acknowledged. Moreover, many people from South and Central America are by liberal standards culturally conservative: they are pro-family — including both the nuclear family and the multi-generational extended family. They feel less need to wage cultural war against or for traditional gender roles. More often “live and let live,” despite their strong personal convictions. And some even — God forbid — regularly attend church or religious worship services. Deplorable clingers, to use an Obama-HRC neologism.

The Uni-Party Enters the Chat

Our Open Border policies are not for the benefit of the Democratic Party, despite all the claims, theories, and alleged conspiracies to the contrary. Our Open Border policies are intended to benefit the Uni-Party. Hence why the long-serving Republican and Democratic senators can so easily reach agreement on a border security bill which permits business as usual after some proposed cosmetic and comedic but certifiably ineffectual reforms.

We now need to ask whom does the Uni-Party serve, since the answer is clearly neither the American people nor the USA as a nation. To answer this question, we must understand the great migration in the Americas in a larger context — one which includes the similar migrations being experienced and for the most part embraced by Western Europe while resisted by several nations in Eastern Europe, Poland and Hungary the most outspoken among them.

The Mass Migrations to the USA and Europe: Five Effects

What do these twinned mass migrations to the West have common? Shared intellectual leadership and shared effects. We’ll take those points in reverse. Knowing who benefits will bring the intellectual (and political) leadership into focus.

In both cases, the USA and Europe, the ongoing and encouraged mass migrations (MM) do the following:

1. They (the MM) undermine both national sovereignty and democratic forms of governance. The citizens of the host nations involved do not get to vote – are not permitted to hold — a referendum on the migration issues.  Even when polling shows the majority is clearly against more immigration, the will of the majority is over-ruled. Likewise, the movement of peoples itself is typically enabled or supported by transnational organizations — UN agencies, various NGOs, and in the Europe, the EU. Furthermore, by these transnational entities, formerly sovereign nations are given quotas they must fulfill or be coerced by economic sanctions, lawfare, and so on. (This lead to #2 below).

2. They (the MM) undermine both the conceptual and practical basis of citizenship, of having rights under the law for which the government exists to uphold. Instead, the lines between citizen, resident, and transient are blurred. For one example, initially, the immigrants will typically get preferential treatment by the national government, and this directly at the expense of citizens who must still pay the taxes but who may find themselves denied or restricted services and long-established benefits because of the financial burden imposed by new non-citizen arrivals. Laws are applied arbitrarily or not all to new protected classes. (This leads to #5 below).

3. They (the MM) undermine existing regional and national cultures, norms, and folkways — in a word, civic identity. The rapid erosion of civic identity results from the arrival of so many immigrants at once, the sheer number of peoples who speak different languages, have different worldviews, dietary habits, religious and moral beliefs and practices, and so on. Under these circumstances, assimilation, reasonable cultural accommodation, or even large-scale cultural hybridity becomes impossible. The nation-state may quickly devolve into tribalism and identity politics, no longer possessing any shared sense of civic responsibility or core values. But please note this void is created to be filled. (Also leads to #5 below).

4. They (the MM) impact the labor market by driving down wages in various economic sectors, by increasing the strain on existing social safety nets, and by creating — in the short-term, for certain — a Zero-sum economic game between the recently arrived immigrants and the majority of citizens and legal residents who are either working paycheck to paycheck, or/and carrying significant debt loads to afford housing and transportation, or/and otherwise increasingly reliant on government transfer payments and other forms of relief. In brief, rentier capitalism thrives even as the power and reach of the state grows – all this while members of the existing middle-class and working class are being degraded to the conditions and constraints formerly associated with medieval serfdom. (Also leads to #5 below).

5. They (the MM) create short-term to moderate-term situations of anarchy and chaos which seem to justify the central government suspending long-established rights and liberties – including those rights and liberties either constitutionally assured or once deemed central to Western Civilization. These situations may include violent unrest, committed by migrants in response to unfulfilled promises, or initiated by the protests of long-term residents over-burdened by the newly imposed members of their local communities. These crises may also be provoked by the government itself using false flag psyops such as the Patriot Front in the USA. In turn (in response to the induced anarchy and chaos), the government offers the peoples under jurisdiction — peoples effectively no longer citizens, legal residents, or even immigrants, but subjects — protection from each other and from themselves (their dark urges, xenophobic impulses, et cetera). This protection takes the form of a transnational biosecurity network.

   1. As it applies to the vast majority of the population, this cloud-based network records and reports all financial transactions, all discernable interactions both in physical space and social media, and all surveillable engagements in the public and (formerly) private spheres which are now inundated with IoT devices from Smartphones to security cams to AI-enabled houseware devices. Just ask Alexa. Or Siri.

   2. Permission by biometric analysis will — or is proposed to soon — determine access to goods and services, including those available in (previously) public spaces. For certain test nations in Africa and Asia, this is already becoming reality (Davis and Webb, Oct 2, 2023).

   3. The implementation of a transnational biosecurity network is a primary end-goal. In fact, as Davis and Webb (Oct 2, 2023) have called to our attention, the UN has already declared that we need Digital ID to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies”:  a policy position which Davis and Webb astutely argue more properly reads as “to strengthen and consolidate the power and authority of the [emergent] global governance regime and to exploit threats — both real and imagined — in order to advance regime hegemony.”

Our Glorious Future

Now that we understand the effects of these enabled and encouraged mass migrations, enabled and encouraged by seemingly misguided policies and NGOs, we begin to grasp what our American Uni-Party — just part of a larger global coalition which does include many regulars at the WEF — has planned for our future.

These elites envision a transnational and transhuman global society managed and directed by themselves with assistance of AI, robotics, and the widespread dependence on what we currently deem consumer technology. This brave new world entails the effective destruction of the nation-state, of national sovereignty, of citizenship, and of any people (well, the common people) having a distinct culture or civic identity or sense of history. These apparent losses are deemed positives gains, necessary sacrifices which progress demands. Past limitations which we must transcend.

For a display of this utopian hubris, please listen to John Kerry at WEF Davos 2023.

If all this seems Star Trek positive on the way to a glorious united federation which leaves our petty human differences behind while AI as our better angel guides us through our daily toils, please look more closely: the emerging new if it is order is better described as Neo-Feudalism.

Or, Back to the Past

Your author had previously summarized several sources on Neo-Feudalism, (May 30, 2022), but will briefly recap some key literature here.

Neo-Feudalism; aka, Technofeudalism

To justify this comparison of past and present, Joel Kotkin (2023), a noted geographer, public intellectual, and current Roger Hobbs Presidential Fellow in Urban Futures at Chapman University, has argued the following:

• The clearest parallel in our own time is the concentration of wealth in fewer hands, following upon an era of robust social mobility. In the second half of the twentieth century, growing prosperity was widely shared in the developed world, with an expanding middle class and an upwardly mobile working class — something seen in many developing countries as well. Today, the benefits of economic growth in most countries are going mainly to the wealthiest segment of the population.

• This wealth tends to be handed down from one generation to the next, creating something akin to a closed aristocracy.

• As in the Middle Ages, the power and privilege of this oligarchy are supported by an influential cognitive elite, or what I call the clerisy. ...  Today’s clerisy are the people who dominate the global web of cultural creators, academia, the media, and even much of what remains of traditional religious institutions.

• They [the modern clerisy] seek to replace the bourgeois values of self-determination, family, community, and nation with “progressive” ideas about globalism, environmental sustainability, redefined gender roles, and the authority of experts. These values are inculcated through the clerisy’s dominance over the institutions of higher learning and media, aided by the oligarchy’s control of information technology and the channels of culture.

No surprise our modern clerisy generally support open borders — although some have been muted lately given the push-back by Democratic mayors in Sanctuary cities now finally forced to deal with reality.

The Growing Global Economic Inequality is Real

In regard to the growing global economic inequality cited by Kotkin (2023), this has been well documented by the famed economist Thomas Piketty (2014), who argued we are entering a new stage of rentier capitalism — one increasing dominated by inherited wealth and private equity since the rate of return on rent will predictably exceed the rate of growth:

Under such conditions, it is almost inevitable that inherited wealth will dominate wealth amassed from a lifetime’s labor by a wide margin, and the concentration of capital will attain extremely high levels — levels potentially incompatible with the meritocratic values and principles of social justice fundamental to modern democratic societies.

In the now ten years since Piketty (2014) made this claim, global wealth inequality has only increased (see also Piketty: Dec 14, 2021). In particular, cloud computing and machine learning (AI) have been accelerating the trend, creating what Yanis Varoufakis (2023), economist and former Minister of Finance for Greece, has called “cloud capital”:

From factory owners in America’s Midwest to poets struggling to sell their latest anthology, from London Uber drivers to Indonesian street hawkers, all are now dependent on some cloud fief for access to customers.

We All Pay Rent to the Cloud While Fearing the Lightning Strike

All pay rent. All also, knowingly or not, have their activities generated as data and collected, mined, and monitored by the cloud capitalists. All likewise exist under the shadow of a digital death sentence, having traded away basic rights and liberties for EULAs — for End-User Agreement Licenses. As Varoufakis (2023) states:

every vassal capitalist knows that with the removal of a link from their cloud vassal’s site they could lose access to the bulk of their customers. And with the removal of a link or two from Google’s search engine or from a couple of ecommerce and social media sites, they could disappear from the online world altogether. A sanitised tech-terror is the bedrock of technofeudalism.

Well said:

“A sanitised tech-terror is the bedrock of technofeudalism.” Varoufakis (2023)

But even when the generated data collected is not overtly used to punish or control, or even if the end-user is blithely unaware, the cloud capitalists still benefit as this data feeds and improves models for prediction and classification, for not just the profiting from but also controlling and shaping attention and desire. 

AI and Cloud Computing Accelerate Neo-Feudalism

Professor Shoshana Zuboff (2019), Charles Edward Wilson Professor Emerita at Harvard Business School, has described this practice as “surveillance capitalism” which aims “not to dominate nature but rather human nature.” Regretfully, her considerably detailed discussion of surveillance capitalism is beyond the brief scope of this review. Please see Jongseung Kim (Apr 28, 2019) for an outstanding crib. Similar to Kotkin (2023), Piketty (2014), and Varoufakis (2023), Zuboff (2019) also sounds the alarm about our emerging global neo-fuedalism:

“What is unbearable is that economic and social inequalities have reverted to the preindustrial ‘feudal’ pattern but that we, the people, have not.” Zuboff (2019)

Perhaps Zuboff should have added “not yet” — or, retrospectively, clarified whom she meant with the phrase “we, the people.”  This allusion to the preamble of the US Constitution might well likely be lost on the majority of USA inhabitants, just as their Constitutional Rights are likewise being eroded. Zuboff (2019) seems to place her hope for resistance largely in the Western toolkit inherited from the Enlightenment:

We are not illiterate peasants, serfs, or slaves. Whether “middle class” or “marginalized,” we share the collective historical condition of individualized persons with complex social experiences and opinions. We are hundreds of millions or even billions of second-modernity people whom history has freed both from the once-immutable facts of a destiny told at birth and from the conditions of mass society.

The mass migrations are subverting that source of resistance because any such “collective historical condition” requires not just a commonality in material reality but a shared or shareable awareness, itself based on education, socialization, personal interactions, and agreed upon or at least negotiable — meaningfully debated and discussed — norms and values. That shared awareness is being smothered in its cradle. Please see MM effects 2, 3 and 5 above.

Resistance, Meet the Transnational Biosecurity Network

Let us please pause for a moment to remark on the obvious. What Varoufakis (2023) has deemed the “sanitised tech-terror … of technofeudalism,” what Zuboff (2019) has designated as “surveillance capitalism” which is trapping us in a “preindustrial ‘feudal’ pattern” of “economic and social inequalities” — all this reaches it fulfillment with the implementation of the transnational biosecurity network. The transnational biosecurity network is the stateless uber-state, made possible by cloud technology and AI, owned and controlled by elites seeking domination across generations.

These elites comprise the would-be royal families of technofuedalism, of AI and Cloud-computing transforming and reinvigorating rentier capitalism. By proxy, and to ensure continuity, the transnational biosecurity network as it is now emerging integrates not-for profit foundations as well as for-profit corporations — all this in alliance with existing state security apparatus.

The AI Revolution is Just Beginning

Similar to Varoufakis (2023) and Zuboff (2019), the Chinese entrepreneur, AI pioneer, and venture capital investor Kai-Fu Lee (2018) has expressed his concerns that the emerging "AI world order will combine winner-take-all economics with an unprecedented concentration of wealth.” Neo-Feudalism, in short.

But whereas Lee (2018) warns of “the tremendous social disorder and political collapse stemming from widespread unemployment and gaping inequality” caused by AI and robotics replacing humans for many core services, our American Uni-Party and the WEF European elites understand this looming “tremendous social disorder and political collapse” as opportunity.

The Bourgeoisie Facing Planned Extinction

Our transhumanist globalists do — but in this limited sense only — resemble the ideologues and activists of the old-school Marxist International: as Kotkin (2023) states, our new overlords and their clerisy seek to “replace the bourgeois values of self-determination, family, community, and nation.” As a concomitant, they also seek to end market capitalism, true meritocracy and hence disruptive social mobility, and any hopelessly outdated notions of individualism. (This includes individuals possessing inalienable rights and liberties, individuals taking direct personal responsibility for their own physical health, and so on. No worries. Big Pharma has an app for that —and a prescription plan).

Destruction of the bourgeoisie is metamorphosis. The great middling of Western societies must vanish: you will own nothing (be in rent-debt for everything) and be happy (ingest your assigned medications — now likely integrated into your food supply).

The Mass Illegal Migrations: Herd-thinning on the Road to Sedation

In Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow (2016), Yuval Noah Harari, WEF illuminati, celebrates the possible transhuman future while proposing that discontents from social inequities be solved with drugs and simulations, the updated version of bread and circuses. After the mass migrations (MM) serve their purposes (please see 1 to 5 above), the global population will be appropriately controlled, sedated, and “right-sized”to the desires of our elite based on their interpretation of the earth’s carrying capacity. People dying on the march to the Southern border — for the time being, plenty more where they came from. Step by step, our glorious future emerges — we, as John Kerry revealed, are superior beings who are saving the planet. No sacrifice made by others is too great to realize this ultimate good.

In direct contrast with Harari, Kai-Fu Lee (2018), wealthy, wise, and unquestionably among the global society’s elite, does NOT wish “to live in a society divided into technological castes, where the AI elite live in a cloistered world of almost unimaginable wealth, relying on minimal handouts to keep the unemployed masses sedate in their place.”  But Lee (2018) offers more in the way of warnings and aspirations than solutions. He does at least openly engage many of the core issues.

Who Benefits?

The technological castes are already here; it remains yet uncertain whether the minimal handouts — some form of Universal Basic Income, or cricket protein powder with added psychotropics, or whatever — will be provided to sedate the masses. For now, too many of them march across South and Central America to the USA Southern border; or arrive by dangerous passage on the shores on Italy, Greece, Spain, France, et cetera. Let these nations effectively be destroyed: until the new global order is fully established, our Uni-Party and WEF overlords expect not just to survive but to thrive on the chaos.
